Headline: " Man Walks on Surface of MARS ! "
You were expecting little green men, maybe? This is Mars. For those who think this isn't actually Mars and that this is just being staged - here is Mars' website -
When I was looking at the image I posted last Thursday I was thinking it seemed an alien landscape and the geometric markings in the freeway concrete appeared like instructions from some outer space civilization. It was then I thought that there was no exit off this highway between there and Sixth Street - a block from Mars. And so this little adventure took hold...
I hope you don't think it easy having this brain between my ears.

@David: Bouquets to you David for 'seeing' the reverse 'R' and 'S' in the sign from just one side. I saw it as I shot the place from each side (duh) - but to pick up on this from the single image is pretty exceptional perceptiveness - bravo!
@ordinaryimages: Our fellow with the hood didn't come from Mars - it was closed. But he walked as though he'd come out of some distant galaxy - far, far, away - and might have re-fueled here had the door been open. It might say something about the place to note that they don't open on Saturdays until 9 PM - and they are closed on Sundays.
@Ralph Jones: The 'Orange' Planet strikes again!
